March 6: Corn producers: Advance 2025 crop sales... May corn futures surged higher alongside soybeans and wheat amid active fund buying over concerns of the return of inflation. Domestic fundamentals remain a hindrance as stocks are seen as climbing north of 2 billion bushels at the end of the marketing year. We advise corn hedgers and cash-only marketers to sell 20% of 2025-crop production to get to 60% priced. You should also have 10% of expected 2026-crop production sold for harvest delivery.
Soybean producers: Advance 2025-crop sales... Soybean prices poked above the psychological $12.00 mark for the first time in nearly two years. We advise soybean hedgers and cash-only marketers to take advantage of the rally, selling another 20% of 2025 production to get to 70% sold. You should also have 10% of expected 2026-crop production sold for harvest delivery.
